Hey guys,

I have this php form on my website that doesn't deliver mails to my email address. I've tried using the exact path and file name only within the form tag to no avail. The form seems to work and even redirects to the desired page after processing, but I get no mail. Can you guys help me? Here the form and php file:

Form:


<form id="contact-form" name="contact-form" method="post" action="http://winwinarticles.com/pages/form-processing.php">
<p>
<label>Name:<br />
<input name="Name" type="text" id="FName" size="30" />
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>Email:<br />
<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" size="48" />
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>Paypal transaction ID:<br />
<input name="Paypal" type="text" id="Paypal" size="48" />
</label>
</p>

<p>
<label>Subject:<br />
<input name="Subject" type="text" id="Subject" size="48" />
</label>
</p>

<p>
<label>Keywords list:<br />
<textarea name="Keyword" id="Keyword" cols="50" rows="7"></textarea>
</label>
</p>

<p>
<label>Title list:<br />
<textarea name="Title" id="Title" cols="50" rows="7"></textarea>
</label>
</p>

<p>
<label>Comments/Questions:<br />
<textarea name="Comment" id="Comment" cols="50" rows="7"></textarea>
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>
<input name="button" type="submit" class="submit-button" id="button" value="Send" />
</label>
</p>
</form>



Php file:

<?php

while (list($key, $val) = @each($_GET)) $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
while (list($key, $val) = @each($_POST)) $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
while (list($key, $val) = @each($_COOKIE)) $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
while (list($key, $val) = @each($_FILES)) $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
while (list($key, $val) = @each($_SESSION)) $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;

/* Subject and Email Variables */

$emailSubject = 'Order';
$webMaster = 'myemail@hotmail.com';

/* Gathering Data Variables */

$nameField = $_POST['Name'];
$emailField = $_POST['Email'];
$paypalField = $_POST['Paypal'];
$subjectField = $_POST['Subject'];
$keywordField = $_POST['Keyword'];
$titleField = $_POST['Title'];
$commentField = $_POST['Comment'];


$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $nameField <br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Paypal transaction ID: $paypalField <br>
Subject: $subjectField<br>
Keywords list: $keywordField<br>
Title list: $titleField<br>
Comments/Questions: $commentField<br>
EOD;

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

/* Results Rendered as HTML */

$theResults = <<<EOD
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br />
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://winwinarticles.com/pages/complete.html">
<style type="text/css">

text-decoration: none;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<div align="left">

</body>
</html>
EOD;
echo "$theResults";

?>

    replace $email with $emailField and you are good.

    Did you used to be on WA?

      I tried changing $emailfield for $email and it still doesn't work. And what is WA?

        WA = Wealthy Affiliate and by not knowing you already answered the question.

        I uploaded your files to my server and they worked fine once I made that change.

        In your response you said $emailfield, in code did you capitalize the F? It will not work if you lower cased it.

        Hey, did you check your spam folder? My tests landed this in my spam folder.

    This may be totally irrelevant as I don't know much about this but I had a similar issue with a contact plugin and after a bit of messing around it turned out that the host I was using didn't allow php mail so I had to use smtp or whatever it is, or something along those lines. Just a thought.

      That could be the issue because I used the exact same code on my old server and it worked. I'm with Hostgator.

      I checked. Nothing there.

        I'm with hostgator as well, ran into a similar issue yesterday when they moved my server which I'm sure is what happened to you as well.
